N-phosphinoamidinato silicon(I) and silicon(II) compounds

This thesis describes the synthesis of N-phosphinoamidinate-stabilized disilicon(I) [LSi-SiL] (L = tBu2PNC(Ph)NAr, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) 4 by the reduction of its trichlorosilane [LSiCl3, 2] and chlorosilicon(II) [LSiCl, 6] counterpart with KC8. Compounds 4 and 6 were then able to rapidly reduce CO2 to...

Description
Summary:This thesis describes the synthesis of N-phosphinoamidinate-stabilized disilicon(I) [LSi-SiL] (L = tBu2PNC(Ph)NAr, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) 4 by the reduction of its trichlorosilane [LSiCl3, 2] and chlorosilicon(II) [LSiCl, 6] counterpart with KC8. Compounds 4 and 6 were then able to rapidly reduce CO2 to CO at room temperature in toluene to form 7 and 8 respectively. In addition, the chlorosilicon(II) 6 was also able to react with BI3 in toluene to afford a heterodinuclear silicon-boron complex 9.
